Giants' Fewell the Slaughterhouse 5

by NYG85yrs on Oct 26, 2010 3:39 AM EDT

With the Cowboys' season hanging by a sling, the New York Giants delivered the knockout. If Dallas was looking for a decisive moment to say goodbye to the season, it came on 10/25/2010 at 12:17 in the 2nd Quarter.

Dallas QB Tony Romo became the latest victim of the Giants defense' blitzkrieg that has sent 4 quarterbacks to the sidelines during their 4 game winning streak. Tony Dorsett said during the pregame--while predicting a Dallas win--that New York would be Frazier to the Cowboys' Ali ("Down Goes Frazier, Down Goes Frazier!!"). Well, he was right that someone would hit the mat and not get up. Tony Romo's collarbone was broken by a streaking Michael Boley who drove Dallas' dream season into the ground. Starting tomorrow, the Giants will start accepting "Thank You"s from the Eagles and Redskins for effectively making the NFC East Division title a 3-team race. Not that the Giants needed help, however.

Since Tony Romo's end-zone interception to R.W. McQuarters that sealed the 2007 NFC Divisional game for the Giants, New York has beaten Dallas 4 of the last 5 times. Impressively, this includes two straight victories in Texas. The Giants Defense is rolling behind a fire-up defensive line that's sending QBs to the IR, a blitz happy DC, and a three-headed monster in the defensive backfield. So what, NY Jets, if Revis (REEVISS!) is the best CB in the game?! Why settle for one when you can have 3 at once? Philips, Rolle, and Grant have blanketed receivers and given Osi and Tuck up front time to get to the QB.

New York has shut down the run, not a single 100-yard rusher since week 3, and not one even close. And for the Cowboy's slobbering dauphin of a HC, who after every loss starts his postgame press conference by saying "Well, disappointing loss, obviously...", he could hang his hat on....Dallas special teams? Doesn't matter. Whatever Cabbage Patch Phillips says about how well his team played, they were woefully outplayed by the New York Giants. In fact, it was the Giants' offense that kept both them and the Cowboys in this game.

The Giants had over 500 yards in total offense to the Cowboys' 200, or thereabouts. And another enemy QB was sent to the New York slaugterhouse. And now, at 5-2, the Giants will be headed for the Great Northwest, to take on the division-leading Seahawks. Clean up the turnovers, Giants! That'll make a tough team down-right terrifying, and just in time for Halloween, too.

Don't worry about the Seahawks

Leading the NFC West is like being the last place finisher in a race—sure, you’re fit enough to do the race, but that doesn’t mean you’re not crawling past the finish line an hour and a half after everybody else. I’d say the Giants should play football the way they feel comfortable, but manage the turnovers, and the Seahawks will win it for us.

I love your profile pic. Hahah had to look twice to make sure my eyes weren’t crossed.

disagree about Seahawks

They have some special weapons on Offense, Qwest field is a tough place to play for noise, and it’s been a house of horrors for us.

That said, I think we should win, but Seattle is no cakewalk.

All anyone needs to know about the Cowboys is that amid a terrible start to what was supposed to be a season draped in glory, they have more excessive celebration penalties (two) than wins (one).

+1

Going west is not something the Giants do well.
You can’t use the NY Sack Exchange. It’s as bad as Gruden’s Jet Blue. That’s Jet owned and affiliated.
I think the “Killer G’s” sounds about right this year.
Nice fan post other than that quibble about the name!

we could call them

“we’re going to knock your quarterback out of the game and maybe the backup too” squad.

Catchy, eh?

love it

and the way it just rolls off the tongue

I just think of them as

the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. No “blue” pun involved, just a fan of Kill Bill and the thought of David Carradine as Tom Coughlin, Lucy Liu as Justin Tuck, etc. cracks me up. Wish I had some photoshopping skills so I could show the Crazy 88 with the heads of the fallen quarterbacks shopped on.

I like the Killer Gs.

The descriptive I keep hearing in my head for the D is, “The Chinese Bandits.” That’s perfect for me, but, like Sack Exchange, is a retread. It was the moniker applied to an LSU team 20-25 years ago.

by blue gonz on Oct 28, 2010 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions

Deadly Viper, etc is risible,

but IMO a tad too arcane as a label for the D.

Lol

Where do you come up with this stuff blue?

The irony of this to me is...

that the Giants are such “classy” sackers, if that makes sense. I mean, how many times has Osi had an opportunity to completely annihilate a QB from the blindside, but instead goes for the strip-sack? He probably could have Leonard Marshalled (see Joe Montana, i.e. broken back) Cutler several times, not to mention other QBs as well. Even the Ross hit on Cutler appeared rather pedestrian. To me, it just seems that our DL has had an abundance of opportunities to go all 1980s Giants D on opposing QBs, and hasn’t due to discipline and strategy. Discipline because of the personal foul and fine to follow, and strategy because of the value of the strip-sack. LT did the strip-sack, but didn’t look like he was killin the QB out there when he did it? Osi’s like a pick-pocket, haha. My point is, we’re knocking all these QBs out of games, and we’re not even trying to – we’re doing it perfectly legally.
